Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Bell Mechanical Services, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal for an HVAC maintenance visit.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they happen. This kind of proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
